Sally is joined by master of the absurd, Bob Mortimer. Bob reveals the comedy sketches that turned a young lad from the North East into a solicitor, before finding his true calling with partner Vic Reeves. Bob shares his love of Spike Milligan, Tommy Cooper, Fry and Laurie as well as some internet sketch sensations. The icing on the cake as ever is the remake of Bob's favourite sketch, aided and abetted by host Sally Phillips.
